Best Nursery: Renken's NurseryRenken's Nursery has been in the plant business since it opened in 1985. Through all of their years in business, owner Dina Polland said that it's their customers who make the nursery great.

"It's not us, it's our customers. We have a great clientele, and most of our customers are our friends," Polland said.

She said they strive not just to educate their customers, but to help them through the years as they turn plots of lands into gardens.

"Our goal is to not only educate our customers about plants and the environment," Polland said. "It's about helping them and how to best serve them. We're not just something you pick up off the shelf. We're there to watch their garden grow every year and turn into a beautiful oasis."

She said being voted the best nursery in Victoria was a wonderful feeling.

"It's very humbling, because we put so much effort into our business. It's humbling to know you're appreciated out there," Polland said.
